"Peaceful anti-communist revolutions in Czechoslovakia (Czech and Slovak Republics from 1993), Hungary and Poland, engineered by political elites during 1989-90, resulted in broad transformations of the Visegrad Group of countries, formed in 1991. Especially important were transformations among political elites themselves. We discuss three stages in the elite transformations: a transition stage between 1989 and approximately1995; a fluid stabilization stage from about 1995 until 2007; and a stage of heightened elite tensions and conflicts during the European crisis. The first two stages - transition and fluid stabilization - have been analysed extensively by the present and many other authors, so we merely recall their major contours in order to concentrate on how Visegrad political elites have grappled with, and been affected by, the third (and continuing) crisis stage. We focus on actions of core executive elites because power is concentrated in their hands."@en . "Szomol\u00E1nyi, So\u00F1a" . . "I" . "[7894F8108E14]" . . . . "New York" .
